Thanks for the quick replies
Hi Lucas
The sport I am planning is not Boxing, Its just the closest sport to what I am planning I could think off. But saying that a Boxing promoter game would be a good idea. I will start considering it.
Hi Alberth
Sorry for the typo. It will be a mix off posting using my phone at midnight and dyslexia. Thanks for the tip about the text files. I will have a look in to it. Are you able to amend the dater? For example Character 1 has improved his x stat through training.
As for the stats and how they interact I have a excel doc where I am working all that out.
Thanks for the help.

Hi All
I have just started exploring game development, mainly because I have had an idea for a sport management/boxing promoter type game running around in my head for some time now.
My question is around databases. Do I need one if so what is recommended and any tutorials?
I have been looking are for some time now for this information and this genre of game doesnâ€™t seem to have many tutorials.
I need to be able to generate and store new caricatures at different points in the game and have the stats go up and down. The user needs to be able to see all the numbers and be able to select the caricatures (e.g. for fight 1, 2, 3 etc).
I plan on using VS (Windows Form) to start with then look at upgrading it to Unity. I will be using C# mainly.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for the help â€¨

Thank you for your replies so far.
I have been thinking about this overnight and the best way I can explain is using a Boxing Promoter sim as an example. You have you're in game boxers and they have a list of stats that determine the outcome of different events in game e.g. A fight, Promo event and contract negotiations. As well as calculating attendance. With that in mind the math I'm looking for is most likely probabilities.

Hi all
I have just started exploring game development, mainly because I have had an idea for a sport management type game running around in my head for some time now. My question is can anyone recommend a book or website about game meth? Preferably with some examples relevant to the type of game I'm planning.
Thanks for your help
